 employed the generalised physiological nomenclature accepted

power will be given to have that limit raised by provisional 

 order. Boroughs already possess a certain jurisdiction over 

 technical education, and have a rate of \d. to work upon. It 

 is not proposed to deprive any borough with a population above 

 10,000, or any urban district with a population above 20,000, of 

 that jurisdiction. The councils of these boroughs and urban 

 districts may, if they choose, become the absolute authority over 

 primary education. They would retain their existing powers 

 over technical education, and would become the authority for 

 secondary education concurrently with the county council. But 

 whether the schools in a district are voluntary or rate erected, 

 the local educational authority created by the Bill will in future 

 be the absolute master over all secular education. London is 

 excluded from the operation of the Bill. The adoption of the 

 elementary education portion of the measure would, for a time, be 

 optional. 



Mr. H. Brereton Baker, M. A., late scholar of Balliol 

 College, O.tford, has been elected by the governors of Dulwich 

 College to be headmaster of Alleyn's School, Dulwich. Mr. 

 Baker, who has had several years' scholastic experience as 

 senior science master in Dulwich College, is well known as a 

 chemist of real distinction, whose important papers in the 

 Philosophical Transactions and the Journal of the Chemical 

 Society on the remarkable influence of traces of moisture in 

 facilitating chemical action have attracted well-deserved atten- 

 tion. Physical science has long formed a prominent part of

UNIVERSITY AND EDUCATIONAL 

 INTELLIGENCE. 



The proposals of the Government with respect to education 

 in England and Wales were described in the House of Commons 

 by Mr. Balfour on Monday, and after a discussion, leave was 

 given for the introduction of the Government Education Bill. 

 It is proposed that in future there shall be one authority for 

 education, primary, secondary, and technical ; and that this 

 authority, being responsible for a heavy cost to the ratepayers, 

 shall be the rating authority for the district. Explaining the 

 broad outlines of the measure, Mr. Balfour stated that the 

 education authority will be the county council in counties and 

 the borough council in county boroughs. They will work 

 through committers appointed under schemes which will have 

 to be approved by the Education Department. A majority of a 

 committee at least is to be appointed by th»council. The other 

 members are to be nominated, and to be persons experienced in 

 education. Wales, which has a secondary education authority 

 already, is to be permitted either to retain that authority or to 

 substitute for it the authority proposed in the Bill. With regard 

 to secondary education, the provisions of the measure are prac- 

 tically identical with those embodied in the Bill of last year. 

 •County councils and borough councils are to have a 2d. rate 

 ito work upon, and as in many places that will be insufficient,

the course at Alleyn's School, which possesses physical and 

 chemical laboratories th.it are probably not surpassed by those 

 of any school in the country It will be a matter of interest to 

 scientific men that at least one school in the kingdom should be, 

 not only well provided with laboratory accommodation, but 

 should have at its head a man of acknowledged scientific 

 reputation. 



Sir Philip Magnus will preside at a public meeting to be 

 held in connection with the conference of the National Associa-

The Government of India has hid under consideration the 

 improvement of the existing system of education of Europe ins 

 and Eurasians, and the Local Governments have been asked for 

 an expression of their views upon the subject. Meinwhile (says 

 the Allahabad Pioneer Mail) a small committee of educational 

 officers has been app )inted to examine and revise the Bengal 

 Code of Regulations for European Schools, in the hopi that it 

 may be found possible to render it suitable for adoption through- 

 out India. Tne Secretary of State has accepted the proposal 

 of the Government of India to creite an appointment of 

 Director-General of Education in India, and Lord George 

 Hamilton has selected .Mr. H. W. Orange to fill the post.
